I understand that photos and videos taken by HTC phone are stored on sd card in DCIM folder and 100MEDIA subfolder by suitable name IMAGxxxx.jpg
By the time we have groving content in this folder.
Any idea how to split it into few folders and keep continuous photos numeration?
Once I did managed to make folders 101MEDIA, 102MEDIA etc and newly taken photos were kept in last folder but with right continuous numeration. After ICS upgrade it is not working.
Any idea how to make it work?

when using my camera I can't use the gallery icon in the bottom corner of the screen, when I click it it just says "no items".
I suspect this is due to me running different firmwares such as CM7, between the different firmwares the camera gives the pictures different file names but keeps them in the same DCIM location.
Is there any software I could use to batch rename the files maybe to keep them in the same format? I'd want the dates of the photos staying intact if possible?
Please help. Thanks.
Hi...
maybe when you change your firmware you took backup all your gallery into your ext sd.
make sure that your dcim location is in your internal sd.
the gallery icon in the camera app shows only the files that are stored into your internal SD (internal storage) not at your external SD.
Try and tell me if i helped.
dcim has always been on internal sd, ive never moved it
im sure its to do with the fomat of the files, i recall having a similar issue with the camera not working on cm7. i fixed this by moving the files from dcim to a new folder and it worked straight away but i dont want to do this again...

How to delete the wallpaper file permently. The file .thumbnails keeps coming back, loads to my sd card and shows up with my pictures in the grid. I deleted it from my sd and my nook by deticking all boxes in prefernces and deleted the file. Then when I did a reboot there they were again. I would like to get them gone !!!!!!
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but if there's a specific folder you do not want to appear in your gallery, you can stop it from showing up by adding a file called ".nomedia" (no quotes) to the folder.
I found the .nomedia file and tried to get the thumbs put in it they won't go, but I got the .nomedia put in the .thumbnails file and then deleted them, don't know if this will work??????? I don't have the wallpaper in my media now so I'll just wait and see. I'm not to savy on this stuff. thank you for the hint.
Well I had to turn my nook off, because video on pulse locked, and the wallpapers are back. They must be part of the boot up so I don't have a clue what to do now. I just did a bunch of deleting, cutting the file to my computer and the software in the nook just makes a copy of all my files on my sd card and puts them in the .thumbnails folder. My files on the sd are still where they should be. What's next??????
Where is this folder located? Is the .nomedia file still there?
The file is in the B&N download folder and is still there in both nook & sd.
Hey!
A few days ago I flashed the CM10 Jelly Bean Rom and now I just wanted to transfer some pictures I took to my pc via MTP but my camera folder in DCIM is empty although it isn't empty on my phone!
What can I do?
Thank you for help in advance,
Alex
EDIT: I just realized that only pictures from before the flash aren't viewable on my PC! New ones are viewable!
EDIT2: I found out that if I rename the Photos on my phone it works again!
I could only see the pictures taken with the jelly bean rom with MTP on windows. I renamed the DCIM folder to DCIMm, rescan, rename back to DCIM and now I can see all my pics on windows again.
I looked around and cannot find the answer to this. I gave my Vibrant to a friend who takes a lot of pictures with it. He has downloaded a few different photo apps and some of them ended up filling the main system storage of the phone with photos. When I looked into it, some of the apps had placed the storage folder under the root directory and not in the Internal Storage or the External SD card. I looked in the apps and they do not have an option to move where the images are stored. The phone is running bionix-v-1.3.1 (just found it to be the most stable for my friend). One of the main apps that is doing this is FxCamera as the storage folder is at: /FxCamera.
So my question is, can I move this folder using symbolic links or another way? I attempted to make a symbolic link but it said I could not create it. I have a feeling I am not mounting correctly or have the wrong symbolic link. (or this just cannot be done). Maybe I should do it via a terminal window but not sure of the commands here as my Linux experience is somewhat limited.
One last note, what I would really like is to get all these photos moved into the DCIM folder on the SD so his Dropbox Upload will automatically upload them.
Thank you for any help!
Screenshots taken on POCO F1 are getting stored under "DCIM\Screenshots".
Google Photos is automatically backing up all the folders under DCIM thinking it's the camera roll.
So all the screenshots are getting automatically uploaded to Google Photos.
Is there any workaround for this? Is anyone else facing this issue?
I do not known if this can be called "a workaround", but after installing SD card you can instruct camera to save photos on SD card, by doing this you separate actual photos (on SD card) from screenshots (still saved in internal memory) and then it should be possible to switch off back-up of internal DCIM folder.
In Google Photos Settings > Back up & Sync > Back up device folders > choose the ones you want to backup
Oh, i got what you meant.... Yep, got the same problem, haven't found any workaround except maybe using third party apps to take screenshots.

"switch off back-up of internal DCIM folder" - is not an option in google photos
I was hoping that after change of default camera folder, internal DCIM folder will be treated as any other folder, where you can switch of-on Google Photos backup. I was able finally to do some tests on Sunday and unfortunately, I was wrong. Even with default camera folder on SD card, internal DCIM folder is still treated as camera folder, without possibility to no backup.
Have you tried creating ".nomedia" named file inside the said directory? Do try that, it should work.
Whenever I get new phone, I create these files in all directories from where I wouldn't want my whatsapp photos, music, ringtones to show up in gallery, photos and music apps.
You can use ES manager to create that. Just go to the required folder, create new > select text and rename it to ".nomedia" without quotes. As the name starts with a period, it becomes a hidden file and won't show up.

Edit: I tried it myself and it doesn't work. Maybe nomedia file should exit under DCIM but then it will probably stop new photos showing up in photos app.
.nomedia doesnt work.
. nomedia file works for the phone gallery but not for Google photos. Either Google allows lets it's users to unselect DCIM subfolders or Xiaomi moves its screenshot folder out of DCIM.
I really wonder why the developers are not doing anything about it.
This is so damn true. God knows when Xiaomi gonna fix this matter. Why more people are not raising voice for this issue I've no idea.
If it is causing such anguish and trouble, why don't all of you raise it in mi forums where Xiaomi developers are sure to see it?
